Question

3. A boat drops an anchor 17.5 feet to the

bottom of a lake. If the anchor falls at a rate of
0,07 feet each second, how long will it take the
anchor to reach the bottom of the lake?

Answer 1

4 min and 10 secs

Explanation:

17.5/0.07= 250secs

250 secs = 4 min 10 secs

Answer 2

4 minutes and 10 seconds.

Explanation:

Time = Distance / Speed (or rate)

Time = 17.5 feet / 0.07 feet per second

Hence, time = 250 seconds.

250 seconds = 4 minutes 10 seconds.
